What is involved in Cataract Eye Surgery Overseas?

"Compared to your eyes, nothing shines quite as bright."

And when they are affected, you certainly cannot compromise with its care. If you have taken the decision to have a cataract eye surgery overseas, that’s the best decision I must tell you.

Last year, I took my father for the same, and there was no fault in the treatment. I would like to share with what is involved in such surgery overseas to make your trip easier.

1. Flying to the right country

When it comes to going overseas, you rightly have to select the appropriate country that has efficient surgeons. Also, there are major factors like quality of treatment, equipment used and methods followed that should be checked beforehand.

Countries like India and Thailand are excellent choices for getting a cataract surgery done.

2. Contacting doctors for appointment

Once you have decided upon the country and hospital, next is to get an appointment with the most qualified surgeon. Discuss with them how the initial check-up is going to take place, either over Skype or by meeting physically. Your further plans will be set accordingly.

3. Booking flights and accommodations

So, you have finalized on date of surgery. Now it’s time to meet the surgeon. Browse for the comfortable accommodation within your budget in the new land. Book the flight tickets.

4. Meet the doctor and further

Welcome! to the new land. Meet your doctor, undergo a safe cataract eye surgery, follow the instructions and come back home safe.

Medical financing

As you have planned to go overseas for your treatment, you must be aware that the cost is less. Yes! I had to pay around five times lesser for the whole surgery compared to that in Australia. Generally in India, it starts from approximately $2000.

But even after that, if you run short of finance, you can take help from medical financing companies. They have loans and other facilities to meet your immediate medical needs overseas.

Medical Tourism companies

No matter what, this complete process is a hassle. Will you be able to make this whole arrangement alone? I don’t think so. But there’s an alternative for you. If you are in Australia, there are many medical tourism companies who take this entire responsibility.

With them, you can have benefits like,

? Guidance in choosing right country

? Getting appointment with best surgeon

? Availing quality treatment at a cheap rate

? They will make all bookings from flight to hotels

? Take care of travel related problem like Visa

? Pre and post-treatment care and support

? Additionally, you can take a short trip around that new country

These companies work as a single point of contact. Not only for cataract eye surgery, but they also give you a similar solution to other problems as well. Some of the reliable companies have partnership with medical financing agencies. Clearly, you can also get immediate financial support.

So, could I reduce your stress a little? Honestly, in my case, initially, I was a little reluctant with these tourism companies. But on my father’s insisting, I tried and now thank him for that. Had they not been there, I would have landed in a complete mess.

Okay! Let me tell you another important fact; the process of cataract surgery there.

Preparation phase

1. After general check-up and consultation with your doctor, you might have to

undergo some tests.

2. You may have to use some antibiotic eye-drops two to three days before the

surgery.

1. Surgeon may ask you to stop certain medicines that you are presently taking.
2. As in case of any surgery, you need to fast for 12 hours prior to the operation.

Once it’s successful, you can discuss with your doctor and get ready for the recovery phase.

Generally, it takes a few days to recover. After some initial irritation, you will have a clear vision again.

Listen to your surgeon properly to avoid any post-surgery complications. Hire the best medical tourism company and fly out immediately.
